Alphane Moon@lemmy.worldOPMto Hardware@lemmy.world•Researchers embed digital 'fingerprints' into 3D printed parts — tech may make future ghost guns more traceableEnglish11·15 hours agoAnything of relevance to the “class” of your gun. If you really need it, you can file the right documentation. I am assuming flashlights are not relevant.
Alphane Moon@lemmy.worldto Fediverse@lemmy.world•PSA: In case you were experiencing problems with feddit.org, this is because a post from feddit reached the front page of Hacker News.English1·17 hours agoI would say the test of public discourse should have limits. For example “North Korea is a great place to live and their regime is a vanguard against western imperialism” should not be treated as spam/trolling. I would argue the same for “genocide of russian speakers in Donbas”.
But I digress. You are right in that we must have the opportunity to state facts about Gaza even if it means damning outcomes for the Israeli polity (i.e. factual recognition that Israel is a genocidal settler colonialiat state).
Alphane Moon@lemmy.worldto Fediverse@lemmy.world•PSA: In case you were experiencing problems with feddit.org, this is because a post from feddit reached the front page of Hacker News.English1·17 hours agoFair point.
I still don’t think the Feddit administration (in the broad sense of the word) is Zionist, but I will admit that I could be wrong.
For what it’s worth I’ve always leaned on the side of the Palestinians, even before the russians invaded in 2014. I just think some caution is needed with using the term Zionist (especially when there is a solid chance of changing their views).
Alphane Moon@lemmy.worldto Fediverse@lemmy.world•PSA: In case you were experiencing problems with feddit.org, this is because a post from feddit reached the front page of Hacker News.English1·18 hours agoUnless these are new threads, I believe I’ve read through them.
I am not convinced they are Zionist or whitewashing Israeli genocide (in the manner of tankie degenerates).
I genuinely believe that it benefits no one to casually label people zionists.
I will give you an example from my native country, Ukraine. After Hamas went on their stupid rampage, a lot of Ukrainians supported Israel (I don’t understand this since the Israeli government is largely pro-russian). People even equated Hamas with the russians (e.g. mass organized killings of civilians).
That being said, once they saw what Israel did in Gaza, many (not all) started taking a more critical look at their support for Israel.
I am just saying, it’s not good to label people when their views can be flexible and are sometimes driven by ignorance.
Alphane Moon@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Taliban leader bans Wi-Fi in an Afghan province to 'prevent immorality'English6·18 hours agoDoes this fellow have stock (ownership?) in local DSL providers? Or perhaps even dialup (I am assuming dialup is still a thing in parts of the country)?
Alphane Moon@lemmy.worldto Fediverse@lemmy.world•PSA: In case you were experiencing problems with feddit.org, this is because a post from feddit reached the front page of Hacker News.English51·18 hours agoIs that true though? Is it really a Zionist server?
There are a lot of people who vaguely lean pro-Israel (but may be revaluating their position in light of recent news), who cannot be called Zionist.
I just think words matter and one shouldn’t debase the meaning of the world Zionists.
Alphane Moon@lemmy.worldto Nothing@lemdro.id•Nothing is launching first ‘AI-native devices’ next yearEnglish1·18 hours agoThey should add a chatbot with audio synthesis (with a “guido” accent and linguistic mannerism) that makes fun of Carl Pei and calls him the edgelord of the smartphone.
The chatbot can activate at any time irrespective of silent settings and so on. The chatbot should also make fun of the user of being Carl Pei’s bitch. The chatbot should also ridicule the user by tracking their activity (comment tinder activity).
I can guarantee you, no one has been able to deploy such a unique used of LLM + speech synthetics “AI”. It will be world first.
Alphane Moon@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Stop Talking to Technology Executives Like They Have Anything to SayEnglish19·20 hours agoThe gibberish from Altman is clearly done in bad faith.
When defining AGI in negotiations with Microsoft, there was no faux-philosophy or other types of word salad. They defined anything that gave them $100B per annum in revenue as AGI, philosophy and technology be damned.
Alphane Moon@lemmy.worldOPMto Hardware@lemmy.world•Expect HDD, SSD shortages as AI rewrites the rules of storage hierarchy — multiple companies announce price hikes, tooEnglish2·20 hours agoPretty sure this sort of hybrid approach wasn’t widely available the last time I was testing local LLMs (8-12 months).
Will need to do a test run. Cheers!
Alphane Moon@lemmy.worldOPMto Hardware@lemmy.world•Expect HDD, SSD shortages as AI rewrites the rules of storage hierarchy — multiple companies announce price hikes, tooEnglish2·20 hours agoThanks! Will give it a go.
I initially went with the local approach, but I sort of gave up on it due to subpar results and because I have no plans to upgrade my 3080 10GB in the next ~2 years.

Haven’t tried GLM, have only tried various Llama versions. Results were OK for some use cases, atrocious for others.
6 Token/second sounds pretty slow.

Alphane Moon@lemmy.worldOPMto Hardware@lemmy.world•Researchers embed digital 'fingerprints' into 3D printed parts — tech may make future ghost guns more traceableEnglish313·21 hours agoNot all countries allow open ownership of weaponry. Most don’t allow this kind of stuff.
I am most definitely opposed to randoms making modifications to their weapons even if they have licensing to own a firearms.
Alphane Moon@lemmy.worldOPMto Hardware@lemmy.world•Expect HDD, SSD shortages as AI rewrites the rules of storage hierarchy — multiple companies announce price hikes, tooEnglish4·21 hours agoI’ve played around with local LLMs, but for both work tasks and casual tasks (movies, games, random quick calculations), I find cloud LLMs to be significantly better (I have a 10GB VRAM GPU).
It does seem like they’ve hit a point of diminishing returns, but that doesn’t seem to have impacted companies’ ability to spend.

Alphane Moon@lemmy.worldOPMto Hardware@lemmy.world•Engineer turned a vape into a web serverEnglish5·1 day agoIt’s took me a second to fully get it, but then I was like “nice one!”. 😀
Alphane Moon@lemmy.worldOPMto Hardware@lemmy.world•Engineer turned a vape into a web serverEnglish5·1 day agoI am sure you could do it, but the specs look like you would get a worse experience than the OG Doom experience from the early to mid 90s.
The base-level kit was “so bad, it’s basically disposable” he said, consisting of a 24MHz Cortex M0+ chip, 24KB of flash storage and just 3KB of static RAM, but it was still workable.
The 3K RAM in particular sounds like a borderline deal-breaker and you would have to replace the 24KB flash storage with something larger.
Alphane Moon@lemmy.worldto Android@lemdro.id•Android will soon be able to theme every app icon, and Google Play won't let developers opt outEnglish274·1 day agoI don’t know how I feel about this. While easier icon theming is a good thing, I don’t think more power to Google is desirable.
We need less control from Google over the Android ecosystem, not more.

No, you could add serial numbers to each part or something similar.
